That is not a happy fence!

Yes, I saw Da Vinci too!

Someday astronomers will get a photo like this with someone out there looking back at us!

You seem to be capitalizing on our desires to see faces everywhere, which is probably a byproduct of an evolutionary ability to help babies find their mothers.

 

I'm really enjoying the wood pictures, from the critique forum with the monk carrying the cask of ale. If that's now what you were thinking of, never mind!

Well, that's why I don't get great people shots. I'm hesitant at getting too close to the people, which is where the best shots are..

Very surrealistic

The red roofs I'm not crazy about. This should have been grayscaled before adding the toning and texture.

 

Great shot and approach.

Let's hope you spelled that title correctly. It would be bad for real estate values otherwise.

 

Wonderful shot. I really like how the color is so deeply textured.

Your heating bill is here!

 

fun shot

This really creeps me out. Perhaps because it reminds me of a tableau called "If you tell, I'll hurt your mama real, real bad" by Ed Kienholz, which has a little girl being kept prisoner by a large teddy bear. She's tied to a chair with the title scratched into the chair.

Love it! very dynamic. and wheel skirts too!

Nice shot! the light rays echo the sculpture and the faceless people pass through.

Ah, I thought those things on the bottom were on a dock, but it's probably taken from a boat. Odds are, people walking by will be rare.

Terrific! Very Bressonian if that's a word!

It's just an average sunset shot, nothing special. I have dozens like it. Also, like most of mine, it's about to hide behind the cloud. Other than one rare evening on the west coast of Florida when the sun rolled right off the edge of the earth, the clouds always steal the sunrise and sunset.

 

Some sort of foreground would help, say a boat or seagulls or people walking.

Good action. Did the picador end up getting knocked down?

I like it. The magenta tones that reflect down to the street make it for me.

 

It reminded me of a motel I saw in Albuquerque, New Mexico, USA that had walls that were just loaded with old ceramic pieces like these. Down below is a picture of it (the ones I took had much more detail but who knows where they are...)

Did you try cropping out top and bottom and just leaving the stripes?

I think it would be a better picture that way. The very dark land at the top and the bright stones at the bottom distract.

Syntagma Square, Athens. Critiques and comments welcome here and in

portfolio.

Good idea! I hate drippy egg whites!

 

Try and keep these eggs from escaping...

I like it. Tight cropping, blocks of bold color framing the face.

comments welcome

or... The Great Escape

 

Why are egg yolks so much more orangey in Europe?

 

Nice shot!

A seaside city reflected in the windows of a trattoria. Piraeus, Greece

Not much perspective involved. It was pretty close to a straight down vertical shot with a macro zoom. Problem was there's very little depth of field at the 200-300 mm range at that distance. Seeing it afterwards, I should have stopped down more.

 

Thanks for looking.
